Emerging markets ETFs have been very popular in recent months as investors continue to regain risk appetite. EEM and the Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) saw cash inflows of $1.8 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, in October. But there’s a lot more to emerging market ETFs than these two giants, with numerous country-specific ETFs and now sector-specific funds for investors to consider. Don Dion gave an excellent breakdown of the potential uses for all of these emerging markets ETFs, as well as some tips to consider when screening for potential investments.

In recent months, however, options for investors looking to gain exposure to specific industries within emerging markets have expanded significantly. In addition to EFN, Emerging Global Advisors has launched two additional sector-specific emerging markets ETFs, including an energy fund (EEO) and a metals and mining fund (EMT), and has filed for approval on several more. Global X, in addition to its Nordic and Colombia ETFs, has filed for approval on a number of sector-specific ETFs focusing exclusively on Chinese markets.
